| EA. FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} S. to SC. WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} C. to MS. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. ENGINE & RADIATOR SUSPENSION. EL/31.10.31. X5005 X5250 We send you herewith LeC. 2967. showing the above. This scheme also shows the cross member immediately in front of the engine with its proposed attachment to the side channels. Attention is drawn to the position of the radiator which is now .250" further forward than previously shown. This alteration has been rendered necessary by having to provide room in front of the cross member for the radiator brackets but has the advantage of leaving more room for air flow between the cross member and the radiator matrix. The front edge of radiator is now 2.25" in front of the centre of front wheels. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
